(6) Based upon the projected shortfall in the Indian Gaming Revenue Sharing Trust Fund, for the 2005-06 fiscal year, the sum of fifty million dollars ($50,000,000) is hereby transferred from the Indian Gaming Special Distribution Fund to the Indian Gaming Revenue Sharing Trust Fund and is hereby appropriated from that fund to the California Gambling Control Commission for distribution to each eligible recipient Indian tribe pursuant to this section.
